I am a member of our very high U6 unemployment rate. You won't get much in taxes from me.

If I was making over $250,000, then feel free to tax me. I would be making so much money it wouldn't make much of a difference.

The poll is a complete sham and worthless. Only 25% of those polled were Republicans. What a laugh.

Poll: 71% shun GOP handling of debt crisis

Americans are unimpressed with their political leaders' handling of the debt ceiling crisis, with a new CBS News poll showing a majority disapprove of all the involved parties' conduct, but Republicans in Congress fare the worst, with just 21 percent backing their intransigent resistance to raising taxes.

Others don't fare too well either
They keep overplaying their hands. They don't seem to learn from this, and keep repeating. This is what happens when crazies run the show.

Or

2) That they were solely against the cuts because they were deferred. Plain and simple, they were against them because of the tax increase. I never heard boo about the 4 Trillion in cuts not really being there. The immediacy or delay of the cuts were not mentioned. Just tax increases.
You must not have seen Boehner talking lately.
